Beginning on July 16, the whole country entered the "futian" in the traditional calendar.
The so-called "hot in the three volts", this season continues to be high temperature, the air humidity increases, many outdoor workers still stick to their posts, front-line epidemic prevention personnel, traffic police, firefighters, sanitation workers, couriers, takeaways... They sweat Guarantee the normal operation of life.
In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of laborers in hot weather, labor unions in various places have carried out safety production and occupational health supervision and inspections, and organized various forms of "send cool" condolence activities; relevant enterprises have actively implemented labor rights protection requirements and provided necessary personal protective equipment and high temperature Work rest place.
Caring for the Guardian
Affected by the subtropical high pressure, since the beginning of July, there have been high temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in many provinces across the country, and the working environment of front-line epidemic prevention workers, traffic police, and firefighters is worrying.
On July 10, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory issued the city's first high temperature red warning this summer.
At the same time as the heat wave hit, the medical staff and volunteers on the front line of epidemic prevention, wearing protective clothing, masks and gloves, worked in high temperature.
In order to ensure their health and safety, local communities and nucleic acid testing sites are equipped with sunshade tents, air conditioners, fans, ice vests and other heatstroke prevention and cooling materials, which have played a certain protective effect.
"Wearing the 'ice vest' in the protective clothing will obviously make it much cooler!" Nucleic acid sampling personnel in Hongqiao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, recently received this cooling "artifact" - a piece of blue vest, inside The side is full of pockets, in which multiple frozen ice packs can be placed to ensure that your body temperature will not be too high when sampling outdoors.
Gumei Road Sub-district, Minhang District, Shanghai purchased a batch of portable mobile air conditioners more than a month ago to bring coolness to 71 nucleic acid sampling points within the jurisdiction.
Other streets and communities sent home-made frozen towels and refreshing thirst-quenching drinks to the epidemic prevention workers to ensure the smooth progress of nucleic acid testing.
In order to protect the occupational health rights and interests of epidemic prevention and control personnel, a number of relevant protection policies have been introduced recently.
The All-China Federation of Trade Unions issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in 2022 for Workers' Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling", requiring focus on frontline personnel such as medical staff and community epidemic prevention volunteers to avoid heatstroke caused by wearing protective equipment for a long time in high temperature weather.
The National Health Commission issued the "Guidelines for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Work for New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Personnel", which mainly include three parts: high temperature hazards and clinical manifestations, heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, and emergency response measures, and proposed 7 heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, including reasonable arrangements. Work positions, scientifically arrange working time, improve the working environment, strengthen individual protection for high-temperature work, and provide heatstroke prevention drinks and emergency items.
The high temperature also makes rescue work and daily training difficult for firefighters.
No matter how hot the weather is, firefighters still need to train again and again.
In order to ensure the health and safety of firefighters, the Fire Rescue Brigade of Weishi County, Henan Province has developed a "wrong time" training method.
"Recently, we have reasonably arranged training items and training intensity, changed some outdoor training subjects during high temperature time to indoor homework or study, switched physical training to morning and evening, and staggered the high temperature period to prevent firefighters from heat stroke. At the same time, training outdoors In the middle of the fire, there are observers for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and they are equipped with heatstroke prevention drugs such as Rendan, Huoxiangzhengqi Water, and Fengyoujing." Zhao Yuntao, head of the Weishi County Fire Rescue Brigade, introduced that the brigade also specially brewed mung bean soup and herbal tea every day. After the end, replenish your body needs in time.
Each fire truck is also equipped with anti-heat medicines to ensure the safety of firefighters when they go to the police for rescue.
In addition, in order to popularize the common sense of heat stroke and heatstroke prevention and cooling for firefighters, the Weishi County Fire Rescue Brigade also invited professional medical staff to give lectures.
Wang Kunbo, a member of the Weishi County Fire Rescue Brigade, said: "Through this class, I learned about various cooling methods and mastered a lot of basic knowledge of heatstroke prevention and rescue. These contents are very useful for us to carry out rescue and training in summer."
Cool online delivery
Every summer, trade unions at all levels will organize "send cool" condolence activities.
In recent years, in addition to various offline activities, a new model of online "send cool" is also emerging.
Relying on the "Guangdong Gonghui" platform, the Guangdong Federation of Trade Unions has carried out the online "Intelligent Cooling" activity for the third consecutive year.
"I just bought a bottle of drinks with the original price of 3 yuan, and I used the coupons I received from 'Guangdong Gonghui'. It actually cost only 0.01 yuan. It's really good!" Song Song, a taxi driver of the demonstration team of party members of Guangzhou Public Transport Group, Guangdong Province The whole people said that in the summer, they need to drink a lot of water in the car. Before leaving the car every day, they will prepare two water bottles filled with drinking water. After drinking, they will find a place to fill up water.
"With this event, buying water is equivalent to not spending money. It's really timely rain for us!"
This year, the "Smart Sending Cool" activity organized by the Guangdong Federation of Trade Unions will last from July 2 to September 30.
During the event, Guangdong trade union members in six major industries, including express delivery, online meal delivery, cargo transportation, online car-hailing (taxi), sanitation, and construction, can receive 1 piece of "Discount when you spend 3 yuan or more" through the "Guangdong Gonghui" platform every day. 2.99 yuan" "Iced Drink Refreshing Coupon", which can be automatically deducted when purchasing cold drinks in major supermarkets.
There are 50,000 "Ice Drinks Refreshing Coupons" distributed every day, which are expected to benefit more than 400,000 staff members.
"In traditional summer condolence activities, trade union cadres at all levels usually deliver drinks, fruits, etc. to outdoor workplaces and deliver them to employees. However, with the development of the times, traditional methods face a series of challenges." The Guangdong Federation of Trade Unions is responsible for People said that the traditional "send cool" activities are subject to objective conditions such as space, time, and manpower, which limit the inclusiveness of services.
For example, the working location and time of some outdoor workers are not fixed, and it is difficult to reach everyone by means of offline regular and fixed-point distribution.
In response to these problems, in 2020, the Guangdong Federation of Trade Unions initiated the "Intelligent Cooling" activity.
Relying on the "Guangdong Gonghui" platform, the service identifies outdoor laborer groups through the trade union database, accurately distributes "cold drinks and refreshing coupons", and cooperates with WeChat Pay and tens of thousands of convenience stores in the province to truly realize "accurate delivery, The characteristics of convenient delivery, daily delivery".
This year, on the basis of previous exploration and practice, 21 prefecture-level and above cities in Guangdong Province continued to launch activities simultaneously, and included more workers with new employment forms into the scope of activities.
It also takes the form of online "send cool" to send care to the workers who work in the outdoor high temperature and outdoor front-line operations, as well as the Baotou City Federation of Trade Unions in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Through preliminary research and data entry, the Baotou City Federation of Trade Unions conducted online real-name registration for more than 10,000 new employment forms in the city.
During the city's "Love to Workers, Cloud Sending Cool" activity, registered workers can log in to the "Lucheng Workers Pratt & Whitney" APP through their mobile phones to receive heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies, and choose to express them home.
In order to do a good job of giving cool gifts this year, the Baotou City Federation of Trade Unions carefully selected 10,000 cool gifts with a total value of nearly one million yuan, which not only met the needs of employees to relieve the heat, but also helped local farmers and rural enterprises to expand their sales channels. , to help rural revitalization, and to provide more accurate, convenient and inclusive services for the majority of employees.
Baotou City Federation of Trade Unions also took this event as an opportunity to focus on new employment forms such as couriers and takeaway delivery workers. Attentive services such as welfare activities, attract more workers of new employment forms to the trade union organization, and promote the establishment of labor unions for new employment forms.
Relief from the summer heat
Under high temperature, outdoor workers of different occupations have different actual needs, and the heatstroke prevention and cooling services provided for them should also be more targeted.
Recently, in Yichang City, Hubei Province, the "cool bus", which provides free cooling service for construction workers, has been widely praised.
At 12:00 noon on July 11, a bus stopped at the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital of Hubei Three Gorges Vocational and Technical College in Yichang City. The air conditioner in the car has been adjusted to a suitable temperature by the driver.
After a while, the nearby road construction workers got on the bus one after another and sat down to rest.
"I've been here for nearly two months to build a road. When I was enjoying the shade at noon, I always looked for the nearby facades, overpass entrances and shades of big trees. Such a comfortable resting environment, I never thought about it before." In the car Qi Xinping, a worker who enjoys the cool air, said.
Recently, a number of roads in the downtown area of Yichang are being widened and renovated, and the workers who build the roads are working very hard.
In order to allow the grassroots builders in these cities to have a place to take a lunch break, since July 7, Yichang Public Transport Group decided to turn some buses into mobile "cooling buses" during the high temperature period at noon. Urban construction workers and Outdoor workers can get on the bus nearby and enjoy the cool air for free.
The relevant person in charge of Yichang Public Transport Group said that this public service will continue to be provided from July to September without affecting normal operations.
The service time is generally from 12:00 noon to 15:00 pm, and some vehicles will be adjusted according to the work and rest time of the construction unit.
At present, the city's "cool bus" has increased to 9, distributed in 8 mobile points in the urban area, and the service scope has also expanded from the initial construction workers to outdoor practitioners, including but not limited to sanitation workers without fixed resting places, Traffic police on duty, takeaway brothers, foreign tourists and other crowds.
In the expressway service area, the "driver's home" built in various places provides a warm and cool post for long-distance drivers who are fighting in the summer.
In the pickup service area on the G22 Qinglan Expressway in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, the sign of "Driver's Home" is very eye-catching.
The notice at the door stated that for 15 yuan, you can take a bath, do laundry, and rest here.
This is very affordable for the driver who runs long-distance cars in the sun.
"For those of us who run freight, summer is the hardest." Wu Lingdong, who has been a truck driver for 30 years, said that in the past, there was no place to rest on the road when running long distances. No matter how hot the cab was, he could only park the car on the road. Take a break for a while.
"Now the various services in the service area are becoming more and more intimate. In the 'driver's home', you can not only eat, stay, bathe, but also see the vehicle status at any time through the monitoring system in the parking area. It really feels like home! "
Data from the Gansu Provincial Department of Transportation shows that at present, 45 "driver's homes" have been built and put into operation in 82 pairs of networked toll road service areas in Gansu Province, with a coverage rate of 55%.
This year, 25 "drivers' homes" will be built and put into operation, and the full coverage of "drivers' homes" in expressway service areas will be fully promoted.
In recent years, with the increase in the number of workers in new forms of employment such as takeaway riders and courier brothers, many places have opened "Rider Homes" and "Rider Stations" for workers in new employment forms to rest.
Not long ago, a new "Rider's Home" was built on Zhanbei 3rd Road, Maonan District, Maoming City, Guangdong Province.
The heat wave was rolling outside, but when I walked into the inn, I immediately felt a burst of coolness.
It is equipped with air conditioners, TVs, microwave ovens, refrigerators, water dispensers, emergency medicine boxes, books and magazines, and mobile phone charging facilities.
Open the refrigerator, which is full of mineral water, refreshing drinks, etc.
There are hemostatic stickers, Huoxiangzhengqi water, disinfectant alcohol, iodophor and other medicines in the emergency medicine box.
A rider resting at the station said: "I didn't dare to come in at first. It looked so beautiful! Then the staff came and told me that this is a harbor for outdoor laborers, and it's free. I really appreciate them." Another rider also said that he liked this station very much: "I used to be tired from running on the road, so I took a break on the street. The food was cold, but I still eat it. Now I have a 'home', I can rest my feet when I am tired, but I have no electricity to charge. , I can drink water when I am thirsty, and I can heat the rice when it is cold, which is so sweet!"
Relevant enterprises have also actively participated in the construction of the "Rider Station".
In Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Meituan Food Delivery has opened up a "guarding one square meter in the same boat" area at each dedicated delivery site.
Small medicine boxes, thermometers, sphygmomanometers, and antipyretic and analgesic, antidiarrheal, and heatstroke prevention functional medicines commonly used in summer are prepared here.
Meituan Qiming said: "Every day after the afternoon rush hour, everyone usually goes to the station to take a break, blow the air conditioner, eat cold drinks, and it will be much cooler after a short rest."
In addition to actively taking heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, enterprises should also comply with the provisions of the "Administrative Measures for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Measures" to provide full high temperature allowances to workers in new employment forms such as takeaway riders.
Last year, the "Guiding Opinions on Implementing the Responsibilities of Online Catering Platforms and Effectively Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Food Delivery Drivers" jointly issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and other 7 departments proposed that takeaway food delivery personnel work under statutory holidays, bad weather, night, etc. appropriate subsidies.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Meituan Takeaway said that since the beginning of the summer, the platform has launched a summer running order subsidy, so that riders can not only get the basic delivery fee, but also get additional running order rewards, which can effectively increase work income.
Duan Ming said: "In the three months of July, August and September, although running orders under the scorching sun is very hard, but the monthly income is also the highest in a year, so we are also very motivated!"
